I am terrified by spiders (much to the enjoyment of my stepfather). I was babysitting two girls - 6 and 8, and there was a HUGE one on the stairs - THEY had to deal with it as I was a quivering wreck at the bottom of the stairs! Although my worst ‘Spider Incident’, as my friend calls them, was when I woke up in the middle of the night, got up to go to the loo and for some reason turned back to my pillow after I’d turned on the light. There, right where my head had been was the biggest house spider I had ever seen. Needless to say I screamed the house down. Waking my stepfather, who didn’t find it so funny then…at 3am! I feel for you.
